Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Good morning all!  I had hoped to have a bit of a different sort of treat for you today, but unfortunately it has been delayed until early next week now.  You know what they say though, good things come to those that wait! LOL  On offer today for the card giveaway is this pretty little peach number.  Again this week, I do need to say that this card will be posted out after my Weekender shows on Feb. 7th and 8th when I return so there will be a very slight delay before the winner will receive it.  I started by embossing a piece of peach card using the Rambling Blossoms embossing folder for the top half of my background.  I used my score board and added vertical lines to a piece of coconut white card for the bottom half of the card.  I cut this piece on the diagonal and glued it to the embossed peach card.  I cut two of the New York borders in white and off set them across the diagonal.  I added 3mm and 5mm white flatback pearls to the border's edge.  For the focal element, I kept it simple and cut the Oval Dainty Frame out of white card as the backdrop.  I stamped my sentiment in black and cut it out with the New York tag.  I inked it lightly with Tattered Rose distress ink before removing it and mounted it with foam on the oval frame.  I cut a strip of peach felt and folded it over lengthwise and glued the edges. I made wide cuts into the strip and then rolled it to create my flower, using Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue along the edge to secure it.  I seated the flower on a white seam binding messy bow and made two stick pins to match.  The card was then completed with my usual pierced mat layer, a thin peach card mat and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/4" in size.  If you would like to be entered in the drawing to win this card, just leave me a comment.  The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
